For the Golden State Warriors, it would have been easy to start this National Basketball Association season unfocused and a bit caught up in the mass hysteria that’s comes with being the defending champions.

The Celtics are looking to halt the Warriors 27-game winning streak and they have what it takes to do it even though they have no clear superstar in their roster.
When asked for his prognosis, Thompson said: “I’m optimistic about life and Friday”. “You can’t just focus in on one guy because we’ve got so many other guys who can put the ball in the basket and make plays”. The Warriors next play on Friday night in Boston. The Warriors have won four straight games against the Celtics.
They are now like a well-oiled machine and are immensely getting better with each passing game. He’s shot 51.9 percent on 3-pointers, highlighted by a 10-for-16 effort against the Pacers, while averaging 25.4 points over his last five games.
However despite the Warriors being on track to challenge the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls season record of 72-10, they are still not the most in-demand team with away fans. As skilled as they are, that’s how much fun they have, and how connected they are a team. Following their game Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers Thompson repeatedly stated that he would be fine to play Friday night. As Curry said, “What good is winning all of these games in a row when you don’t win the last game?” “But we can’t go out there thinking this is the championship”. Steph Curry is better still than previous year, but improved performances from Draymond Green and Festus Ezeli seem to be pushing the Warriors to the next level.
The Golden State Warriors have finally come down to earth with their ideal health. While Golden State has the most efficient offense in the league, the Celtics rank third in defensive efficiency, first in turnovers forced and fourth in 3-point field goals allowed per game.
Along with his offensive production, Thompson also had seven rebounds, six assists, and one block. But as we know from their performance in the Finals, the supporting cast makes big contributions. “More than anything I’ve just been trying to get adjusted here in Boston”.

“I am confident enough to think we have a chance to win the game”, Bradley said, “if we go out there and play the right way on both ends of the floor, continue to share the ball and continue to talk”. Let’s break down three keys to beating, er, containing the Warriors.
